In 1964, This Classic
A Radio Classic
In 1964, “You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling” became
the most played song on American radio, and it remains widely loved today.
Iconic Performance
A 1965 American TV special captured The Righteous Brothers—Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield—
at their peak, delivering a “blistering” live performance.
Though the video has faded, the audio remains clear, highlighting their
“crisp, powerful vocals” and commanding stage presence.
Song’s Legacy
Written by Barry Mann, Phil Spector, and Cynthia Weil, and produced by Spector,
the song was the #1 hit of 1965. It returned to the charts in 1986 after appearing in
Top Gun and has been covered by artists including Dionne Warwick and Hall & Oates.
Enduring Love
As one listener recalls, “Issued 50 years ago today and still as fresh and vibrant as it was then. A true Classic.”
